TORONTO, Ontario - December 1, 2009 - A new partnership between
Just Energy and Integrated Gas Recovery Services Inc. (IGRS) will
provide consumers in Ontario with another way to reduce their
carbon footprint, by applying verified emission offsets from the
IGRS landfill gas collection project at the Essex Windsor Solid
Waste Authority's Landfill. The offsets become part of Just
Energy's Green Energy Option (GEO) program.

Just Energy has procured 50,000 metric tonnes of emission
offsets per year through 2013 from the IGRS landfill gas collection
project in Essex to help meet growing demand for its GEO program,
and as part of Just Energy's ongoing commitment to offer high
quality verified emission offsets that support real reductions in
greenhouse gas emissions.

"Ontario residents have shown an increasing desire to find ways
to mitigate their individual contributions to climate change," said
Ken Hartwick, Just Energy President and CEO. "While it is not
always possible to keep the lights off, turn the furnace down or
walk instead of drive to our destinations, the GEO program, through
its support of locally-based green energy initiatives and
carbon offset projects, helps consumers make a real
difference."

Since 2007, customers enrolled in Just Energy's GEO program have
been responsible for offsetting 20,000 metric tons of carbon
emissions and have injected more than 300,000 megawatt hours of
renewable energy into the electricity grid. Participation in
GEO allows individual customers to reduce the carbon footprint
associated with their purchase of gas and power, while helping to
ensure that large scale carbon offset and renewable energy
production projects, like those related to the Essex credits,
continue to be undertaken.

The carbon offsets are generated at the Essex gas collection
project by reducing emissions through the capture and
combustion of landfill gases, which contains approximately 50
per cent methane, a greenhouse gas with a global warming
impact 21 times greater than that of carbon dioxide.

"Installation of voluntary gas capture projects can be made
possible through the procurement of emission offsets by companies
with the foresight demonstrated by Just Energy. In the absence to
date of a regulated framework governing emission offsets in Canada
or Ontario, Just Energy has taken a bold step to support real,
verified, emission reductions in their backyard. Just Energy's
support allows IGRS to continue to provide innovative gas capture
solutions," said Walter Graziani, Executive Director at IGRS.

The emission offsets transaction was facilitated through Blue
Source Canada, a leading marketer of carbon credits and
provider of offset project services across North America.
